Father of Winnenden school shooter charged with manslaughter

Prosecutors in the German state of Baden-Württemberg on Friday pressed manslaughter charges against the father of a 17-year-old boy who killed 15 people during a rampage started at his old school in March.

Tim Kretschmer's father, a successful local businessman, legally kept more than a dozen weapons at his house, one of which - a 9mm Beretta pistol - was used to deadly effect by his son in the picturesque southwestern town of Winnenden in March.
